I Don_t Wanna Live Forever Fifty Shades Darker
Zayn Taylor Swift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you′d call

It's just a cruel existence like there′s no point hoping at all

Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I′ll be living in vain
And I don′t wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I'm sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind

Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life

Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?

I don′t wanna live forever, 'cause I know I′ll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I′ve been looking sad in all the nicest places
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I see you around in all these empty faces
All night, all night and every day
I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
Now I'm in a cab, I tell ′em where your place is
What is happening to me?

I don′t wanna live forever, 'cause I know I′ll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home





Until you come back home

Been sitting, eyes wide open
Behind these four walls, hoping you'd call
It's just a cruel existence
Like there's no point hoping at all

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
Give me something
Oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever
'Cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home

I'm sitting, eyes wide open
And I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet
Or just lost the love of my life, ooh

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something
But you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever
'Cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home

Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home

(Baby, baby, I feel crazy)
I see you around in all these empty faces
(Up all night, all night and every day)

I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
(Give me something, oh, but you say nothing)
Now I'm in a cab, I tell 'em where your place is
(What is happening to me?)

I don't wanna live forever
'Cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name

Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name
